Do impulsive things

The photo shows a view of Venice, Italy. I took this photo from a gondola when I was enjoying gondola ride on the Grand Canal. I've been to several cities in Italy includes Pisa, Florence, Rome, Maranello and Venice. In Pisa, I lost my sense of balance due the Leaning Tower of Pisa. In Florence, I enjoyed exploring the picturesque beautiful city all day and night. In Rome, I was always thinking how tasty authentic Italian food was. Venice was my last city of travel around Italy, so I tried to do everything I could do at that moment.

Sub-zero temperature

I took this photo in Nyhavn district in Copenhagen, Denmark. I was on the odd numbers side which was lined by colorful cute buildings like the photo shows. I'd say Nyhavn is sort of one of the featured locations in Copenhagen, so first things first, I visited Nyhavn on my first day in Copenhagen. Surprisingly enough, the canal was frozen and wooden ships were stuck on the frozen canal. Before I got there, I saw a lot of beautiful photos of Nyhavn, but there weren't any photos of Nyhavn with frozen canal, so actually first of all I couldn't really understand what was going on.

Check-out time is 11, Check-in begins at 3

I took this photo at my favorite restaurant in Las Vegas, the States. The place was in my hotel on the northern end of the Vegas Strip. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and all-American food, so I went there more than once. That day, I needed to Check-out my room before 11 a.m. and I had four hours till check in to the next hotel. First of all, I put my stuff in the cloakroom and looked around the city. Then I spent some time in a Casino and took a late lunch at the restaurant. I had the soup of the day, chopped salad, and a bottle of Miller Lite.

There's a lot of traffic around here

The photo shows a sign of the Cairo Metro in Egypt. The oldest metro systems in African continent. I took this photo in Tahrir Square right above Sadat station of the Cairo Metro. There's a lot of traffic around here. I used the underground station to cross the street. I didn't know that, but Cairo, Egypt was heavily-trafficked. From what I remember, the area from Tahrir Square to the Egyptian Musium looked like one of the most heavily-trafficked and it wasn't exactly easy to cross the street for a tourist. So that's why. The underground access was come in handy.

Galle lighthouse

The photo shows Galle lighthouse and a mosque in Galle, Sri Lanka. When I headed off to Unawatuna from Negombo, my tuk-tuk driver and me dropped by Galle to see the most famous lighthouse in Sri Lanka. Galle is a popular city situated on Southwestern tip of Sri Lanka. The Galle Fort is known as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. That's the reason we dropped by Galle right before our arrival to Unawatuna. We spent for half an hour or so and were able to unwind from the fatigue of the long bumpy tuk-tuk ride.

The Olympics have begun

This is my another pic of 1896 Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece. It's officially called the Panathenaic Stadium that the place where the first summer Olympic hosted in 1896. I waited for the wind to take the Greek flag and the Olympic flag together. The stadium was empty at that moment, but I was so impressed to be there. By the way, a while ago, I truly enjoyed to watch the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympic Games on TV. It was fantastic and full of surprises. I've lost track of time.
